“I’m Alena. Who are you?” She asks. The wave of aura I received from her tells me she is royalty.
“I am LeeAca. It is nice to meet you princess.” I say which catches her off guard and she blushes.
“Are you visiting? I did not know we had any visitors.” She says. She is either dumb or does not know about me. I have a feeling it is a bit of both.
“I was visiting, but now it seems like I will be here for a very long time.” I say.
“Wait. You’re.. You’re my brother’s chosen mate?” She asks, stumbling around for the words.
“Yes. I suppose I am. At least that is what I think he meant when he said I was his chosen one.”
She giggles and looks at me questioningly.
“What are you doing out here?” She asks, looking around the garden.
“I think the better question is what are YOU doing out here?” I counter.
“I just needed time to myself. To get reacquainted with this castle life. I don’t have many friends here. They all treat me differently because I am the princess. They either suck up or are scared.”
Hmm. “Why is she telling us this? We didn’t ask for that much detail. She could have just said that she wanted to be alone and this is her spot.” Fen grumbles.
I look at the princess and feel her sadness. I put my hand on her shoulder and smiled, giving her some peaceful emotions. “You will find your friends. It is hard to tell when you are so young whether your friends are true friends. Count it as a blessing that you have realized they are not truly your friends before you did something stupid in front of them. You will find at least 1 true friend.” Trying to make her feel better.
“My sister hasn’t.” She retorts.
“Well it is a good thing you are not your sister now isn’t it. You are you, not her.”
She smiles at me and hugs me, making me uncomfortable. When she lets go she glances at my notebook.
“What is that?” She asks, pointing towards my notebook.
“It is a notebook.” I answer.
“What does it have in it?” She asks
“Drawings.” I say, as I open the first page. It is a drawing of one of the flowers in the garden.
She gasps as she looks at the page.
“That gardenia is beautiful. It is very realistic. You are an artist?” She asks.
“I like to draw. I am no artist. It is something to do in my freetime.”
“Well that is very pretty. I wish I could draw like that.”
“All it takes is practice.” I say.
All of a sudden a maid comes running up. “Princess, I couldn’t find you. I have roamed all around looking for you. It is time for dinner.” The out of the breath maid said, looking toward Alena.
I smile slightly as she gets up. She starts to walk away when she turns around.
“Are you not coming?” She asks as we look at each other confused.
“No Princess, I eat at a later time.” I say.
“When do you eat? You cannot eat alone, I was told you eat all your meals in your room. Come with me.” She pouts.
Well that was a little harsh. Maybe she isn’t dumb, just says whatever she has on her mind,
“Okay then.” I say and get up and walk towards them. She links her arm in mine and steers us toward the dining room.
When we enter I see Beta Markus, Gamma Garret, and an older looking version of Alena. That must be the other princess. Alena directs me to the seat to the right of the King’s. I panic because I am not sure if I am supposed to sit there or if he doesn’t want me to. I guess for appearance reasons I should sit there. I glance at Beta Markus and he nods his head slightly. Thankful for the confirmation I sat.
